Premiere Mobile Keyboard Shortcuts with IPad Pro

Hi, I’m enjoying the app. Wondering if additional keyboard shortcuts exist yet or can be created. Also, are keyframes possible yet? It’s a good start.

 

So far, I’ve figured out these keyboard commands with my connected Magic keyboard using Premiere Mobile on iPad Pro:

 

  • Space = Play / Pause
  • C = Split
  • Delete = Delete selected clip
  • ⌘ + ← / → = Nudge playhead 1 frame left/right
  • ⌘ + ↑ / ↓ = Jump to previous/next edit point
  • ⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z = Undo / Redo

 

 

Thoughts / Suggestions:

 

  • Make “C” cut at playhead without requiring a clip highlight (desktop: slice through all layers — I assign this to “K”).
  • Add Q (Ripple Trim Previous Edit to Playhead) and W (Ripple Trim Next Edit to Playhead).
  • Option for delete to leave gaps, with “G” to close gaps, plus ability to delete blank spaces between clips.
  • F = Fullscreen toggle
  • E = Export
  • D / ⌘D = Add transitions to clip heads/tails (video/audio)
  • A / ⌘A = Select track or entire timeline
  • Shortcut to create/apply keyframes
  • Keyframes to trigger effects/project menus
  • N = Nest selected clips into new sequence
  • Enable/disable clip on timeline (desktop = “E”)
  • Assign keys for clip color coding

 

Shout out to Peter Garaway for encouraging these suggestions.

 

Thanks!

I would also love to be able to select more than one clip at a time in order to move two of more clips to stay in relationship to each other….specifically music cuts or the audio track in general
